Precision Astrometry

Tycho implements a technique called Synthetic Tracking to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of moving targets.  Using this technique, the movement of the target need not be known in advance.

Easily stack hundreds of images in a short time with GPU acceleration.  Compatible with AMD, NVIDIA, and Apple Silicon.

Detection of moving targets is just the first step.  The next step is acquiring accurate and precise measurements of the targets.  Using the Gaia EDR3 star catalog, the measurements generated by Tycho can yield residuals better than 0.5 arcseconds on average.
